Bosch quiet cast
I’ve had stock set up, powerstop rotors with Hawk LTS Truck/SUV pads, and my current set up is Bosch severe duty pads with Advics premium rotors. So far the current set up is my favorite. I really prefer the immediate “bite” of semi metallic pads.
In comparison to the stock setup, the Bosch QuietCast pads and rotors aren't as touchy or responsive. They do require a little bit more pedal travel for normal stopping power. However, they do offer more precise control over how much power is applied throughout the pedal stroke. They are also incredibly quiet and smooth.
I've been doing my own brake job for a while and have used Bosch QuietCast rotors and Bosch QuietCast Premium Disc brake pads, both purchased from Amazon. No complaints.
Just replaced all four brake pads and rotors on my 2018 MZ3 hatch with 46,000 miles. Used Bosch quiet cast brake pads and rotors. Paid around $350 for parts and took me around three hours.
I change brakes at least yearly, sometimes more often if I'm driving in mountainous areas alot. I always buy the Bosch ceramic brakes and just buy the low cost rotors because I change them at every brake change (cheaper than having them turned in Phoenix). I buy everything off Amazon. A four wheel brake job will cost me less and $100. 2019 LE.
I've been using the Bosch QuietCast ceramic brakes in the past and have zero complaints so I think I'll go with these: BOSCH BC1212 QuietCast; Ceramic - Rear ($26.79) BOSCH BC2076 QuietCast; Ceramic - Front ($37.79) I'm looking for high quality/high value. I don't need "high performance", I'm not doing any track stuff, just basic commuting but would like longevity, value, performance, etc. I ended up getting: POWER STOP JBR1763SCR (Daily Driver) Semi-Coated - Front BOSCH BC2076 (Premium) QuietCast; Ceramic POWER STOP JBR1764SCR (Daily Driver) Semi-Coated - Rear BOSCH BC1212 (Premium) QuietCast; Ceramic It was around 260 dollars with tax and shipping.
I own a 91’ fj80 land cruiser. I have limited options for OEM stuff these days due to the truck being 30+ years old. I’ve got a CSF radiator in mine because having my OE unit re-cored was $1000+ and the csf was ~450. Toyota new stock, unavailable. I use 555 rod ends and sumo brand rebuild kits, koyo bearings. OE suppliers for toyota without the dealer markup. They’re quick to get here and prices are competitive (i got a guy). As long as its pretty competitive and a known brand, i’ll gladly put aftermarket stuff in my toyota as long as it is of good quality. Rock auto has aisin and denso stuff for these trucks regularly. Been putting bosch brake pads on it since i got it, no issues there.
I went for Bosch models. Fronts have faired much better than oem. Rears I had some other issues (didn’t use service mode) that destroyed them prematurely
Replaced front and rear pads with Bosch quietcast ceramic pads. Greased the back of the pads and slides. Pads squeak obnoxiously when cold. So when I roll out of my driveway and brake it’s loud. Then down the street I brake and it’s loud. But once I get rolling onto the main road and they warm up it makes no noise.
